TUC calls BNP homophobic and sexist
At yesterday’s TUC conference, the BNP were condemned as being both homophobic and sexist.
The BNP believes that homosexuality “should not be promoted or encouraged”, and in its national education policy it refers to the toleration of homosexuals “propaganda” and a “disgrace”. Historically, the party has sought to criminalize it.
The party’s views on women are well known. Recently, Lee Barnes, legal director of the BNP, has referred to “modern” women as being “androgynous” monstrosities, “genderless” and “sexless”. He also believes that flat-chested women mock the “female nourishing form that gave . . . our race its life.”
The party also believes current laws on rape, divorce and abortion discriminate against men and says it aims to redress the balance.
Simon Darby refuted the allegations by saying, ”the one thing where people could accuse us of sexism is that we don’t really agree with sending women into the frontlines of battle. It’s not a sign of a civilised society when you have women fighting your wars.”
On gay parenting, Darby went on to say: “We believe we have natural views, rather than conservative ones, on parenting. We believe a healthy childhood should have a mother and a father.”

Fifth of young Britons jobless as dole toll soars
A record 19.7 per cent of young people are out of work in Britain, according to the Office of National Statistics. Another 34.6 per cent, or 2.55 million, are classified as “inactive”.
Voter analysis suggests that the BNP’s core support is amongst 50+ men, the Fathers of these children.
There is no evidence of any growth of the BNP’s support amongst the young, despite the use of social marketing by the party’s on-line team. However, this worrying data does suggest that hopelessness will spread to the younger generation which, in turn, can lead to the sort of frustration, anger that fosters extremism and racism.

BNP attacks minority group
The BNP have attacked an organisation set up to support Scotalnd’s ethnic minorities.
Ian Murphy, Dumfries and Galloway BNP organiser, branded the people of Dumfries and Galloway Multicultural Association (DGMA) as “alien minorities” and called them anti-British.
This is another example of the BNP’s attempts to reach out beyond the confinds of northern England. Two weeks ago the party attacked Celtic FC for hosting an event to help improve social cohesion across the border with Scotland’s Asian community. The BNP have also been trying to tap into Scottish veterans by helping out FEBA, the cash strapped veterans charity. In Wales, the party have held a series of events at agricultural shows and launched Welsh nationalist t-shirts.
We expect more of this to come as the party grows in confidence and reaches out beyond its existing hot-spots over the coming months in the build up to the general election.
